We present a modular 9.4T RF coil platform that can be used for imaging slabs of tissue as large as a sagittal section of a human brain (dia. 18cm), with a thickness of up to 2cm. The 23-channel receive array was designed with a layered printed circuit approach to ensure the coils’ decoupling and proximity to the sample and with on-coil, low-noise preamplifier circuits. A 7 channel, phased transmit array capable of parallel transmission (pTx) makes homogeneous excitation of a large range of samples possible. The high homogeneous contrast-to-noise acquisitions enabled by the coil will allow high resolution anatomical imaging at 9.4T.
